Research direction

Start by reading the Polyscope slicing plane control widget API and its documentation to determine whether the manipulated plane pose is exposed. Done means either identifying the existing position and orientation access point or documenting the missing API and the expected way to retrieve both values.

Description

Hello, I'm using the Polyscope C++ library in my project,.

How can I get the position and orientation of the slicing plane after manually manipulating it using the control widget? I couldn't find a getPose function in the documentation. Does Polyscope provide a way to get this information?

The library has been very helpful to me, and I really appreciate your work!
